Bono Put Forward For World Bank President Job

U2 frontman Bono has been put forward for the prestigious political job of
president of the World Bank.

The Irish rocker's dedicated charity work and tireless campaigning to
stamp out third world debt has inspired American newspaper THE LOS ANGELES
TIMES to suggest him as a potential candidate for the high-powered role, which
became available in
May (04).

The publication's editor ANDRES MARTINEZ gushes, "Don't be fooled by the
wraparound sunglasses and the excess hipness. Bono is deeply versed in the
issues afflicting the least-developed nations of the world."
